Answers:
yes....anyone can have a heart attack...but it is less likely in a teenager. However, autopsies on young soldiers (in their 20's) from the Korean war showed that their coronary arteries were already gummed up with plaque...and were therefore at risk.
Females are protected to a certain extent by their hormones, but catch up quickly with the menopause.
The diet you mention is ridiculous for anyone at any stage of life!!Health Question & Answer
